Back to the Pittsburgh Penguins Newsfeed

Injury updates on Evgeni Malkin, Alex Galchenyuk, Brian Dumoulin, Jared McCann and more!

Following an off-day on Sunday, the Pittsburgh Penguins were back at it in Cranberry this morning as they prepped before heading out for a Florida swing.

With a team so banged up, there are a ton of updates:

  • Evgeni Malkin and Alex Galchenyuk skated together for about an hour before the team got on the ice. That’s a nice step for both, particularly Malkin who has had a murky outlook of a “soft tissue injury” on October 5th, with no official timeline to return. Neither are probably all that close to returning, most initial guesses expect Malkin out at least another 2-3 weeks at the earliest, but obviously making an on-ice appearance in full gear is always a positive sign.
